ICM 2006: Administration of Travel Grants for U.S. Participants

这个项目是为美国数学学会管理一个计划，选择大约130名美国数学家，为他们提供每人约2,000美元的旅行奖励，参加2006年8月22日至30日在西班牙马德里举行的国际数学家大会（ICM-06）。国际数学家大会每四年举行一次，是世界领先数学家最重要的聚会之一，讨论跨学科的重大数学发展。大会促进数学世界不同子社区之间的交流。美国在ICM-06上的重要代表对国家的科学健康至关重要。申请将由一个专业数学家小组进行评估，他们在评估专业资格和保证早期职业和少数民族申请人不被忽视方面都使用他们的判断。该奖项的目的是支付旅费，生活费或注册费的一部分，但在早期职业数学家的情况下，谁将获得更多的生活费。AMS成功地管理了日本京都的ICM-90、瑞士苏黎世的ICM-94、德国柏林的ICM-98和中国北京的ICM-02的类似项目。

This project is for The American Mathematical Society to administer a program for selecting approximately 130 U.S. mathematicians for whom travel awards of about $2,000 each will be provided to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid, Spain, August 22-30, 2006 (ICM-06). Held every four years, the International Congress of Mathematicians is one of the most important gatherings of the world's leading mathematicians, where major mathematical developments across sub-disciplines are discussed. The Congress promotes cross-fertilization among the different sub-communities of the mathematical world. Significant U.S. representation at ICM-06 is important to the scientific health of the nation. Applications will be evaluated by a panel of professional mathematicians, who use their judgment both in evaluating professional qualifications and guaranteeing that early career and minority applicants are not overlooked. The awards are intended to cover travel, and a portion of subsistence or registration fees, except in the case of early career mathematicians, who will be awarded more subsistence. The AMS successfully administered similar programs for ICM-90 in Kyoto, Japan, ICM-94 in Zurich, Switzerland, ICM-98 in Berlin, Germany and ICM-02 in Beijing, China.
